Kenny Stokes said that locks on the doors at the Raymond Detention Center are in disrepair.

It's the same thing Hinds County Sheriff Tyrone Lewis said one week ago.

Stokes said he wants to see problems at the Hinds County Detention Center in Raymond fixed before he will support a new facility.

"Let's fix what we got (and) make sure inmates can't get in and out. Let's make sure officers are safe and make sure that inmates are safe," Stokes said.

It's not the first time officials have complained about the facilities.

In 2006, former Sheriff Malcolm McMillin said he was frustrated with the constant maintenance issues at the Raymond Detention Center.

Nathaniel Brent was able to escape from the detention center last week. He was captured a few days later and is now facing new charges of escape, resisting arrest and assault on a police officer. He was originally jailed on charges of sexual battery and domestic violence.

An Iranian military observation aircraft flew within 50 yards of an armed U.S. Navy helicopter over the Persian Gulf this month, sparking concern that top Iranian commanders might not be in full control of local forces, CNN has learned.
